Hi All.

I found somewhere on the site a link for scale conversions, but can't find it now. anyway, can anyone tell me the scale of the Birchwood hull I'm expecting any day now

Real size is 29' long, 10' 6" beam.

Model Hull size: 46" long, 15" beam, 18" high.

I've calculated it to be approx 1/8 scale is this correct ?

Exactly

Yes.
Actual boat length 29 (feet) x 12 for inches = 348
Model boat length 46 inches.

348/46 = 7.5652.

Allowing for different length measurements, eg waterline length, overall length.

1/8 is a reasonable assumption.
